Try It Out Tuesday- Revamp an Old Tee!

So tired of the usuals in your closet? Transform your basic boring teeshirt into something fresh and new for free! Personally, I am a fan of the one shoulder shirt, I think they are great for summer and can easily be dressed up or down. For something a little more night-life-esque use a black or white tee, but for a fun, funky, summer style you can use a bright color like mine!

First, find a tee shirt that's a little baggy, because you're going to be cutting it down the side and re-sewing it up. (I used a size Men's Medium tee from H&M that cost $4.80)

Then, cut the collar off as you desire. I made mine really wide and went with the raw-edge look, but its up to you how you want the shoulders to look. Remember that you're going to need to have one sleeve pretty much intact for it to look right.

Once you get the collar how you like it, use a ruler to draw a straight line, starting at the shoulder and ending at the bottom of the shirt, down one side of the tee on the side where you want the shoulder to be cut off. Make sure its straight or your tee might come out sloppy. Cut down this line, detaching the shoulder.

Now using a sewing machine or hand stitching, sew your shirt back up.

Finally add a little flair to your tee. I sewed wooded and nut beads across the collar for a boho look, but you can use sequins, fabric, bows, lace, buttons, rhinestones, anything you think would make your shirt awesome.

And viola! You've just created your own awesome fashion. Enjoy!
